Moroccan Hand-Painted Double-Gourd Lidded Urn with Brass Metalwork

Size: 13"W x 21"H x 13"D - (Mouth Opening: 6"W)

SKU#: VA140

A Moroccan double-gourd lidded urn in the Fassi ceramic tradition of Fez, hand-thrown in terracotta and finished with polychrome painted glaze in the classical palette of cobalt blue, golden ochre, sage green, oxblood-rose, and ivory.

The painted decoration is built on an interlocking scalloped sebka lattice — each cusped compartment housing a small floral rosette — repeated across both bulbs of the double-gourd silhouette. The waist is dramatically belted with hand-hammered brass and embossed silvered metalwork. Crowned by a domed lid with a hand-formed finial.

A sculptural statement vessel with the distinctive double-gourd silhouette historically associated with ceremonial storage and apothecary tradition. Ideal as a statement piece for an entry console, mantelpiece, sideboard, library shelf, or anchoring a designed tabletop arrangement. Equally suited to traditional Andalusi, Fassi, Moorish revival, bohemian, and Mediterranean interiors
